II 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节 阅读理解（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中，选出最佳选项。 A 500 young African leaders are taking part in a US government program at American universities this summer. They would study Civic Leadership, Public Management and Business. Fauzia Abdikadir of Kenya is among the young people. Ms. Abdikadir spoke about her goals and the goals of her group in Kenya - the Northern Organization for Social Empowerment. She says she wants to improve health care and development in the northeastern part of the country. People of northeastern Kenya have depended for centuries on their animals. Families move from one place to another in search of water and places to feed the animals. This traditional life — always on the move - limits education and health care. Most people walk more than 10 kilometers to reach schools, or a health center. "We are being taught how to change the societies with what we have. They say what we have is the energy, the enthusiasm and the brains .of coming up with new ideas in order to save the society from poverty, illiteracy (文盲), violence and so many social problems," said Abdikadir. Ms. Abdikadir wants to make agriculture another way of life in her community, She believes settling permanently and planting crops would provide a better future for young people because they have very fertile land and very good opportunities to practice agriculture. The other thing is

to empower the youth. In the United States, Ms. Abdikadir and the other young people receive six weeks of training. They will also work for two months in the civil leadership field. The program seeks to guide Africa's educators, business people and activists of the future. The Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders is part of President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative. Those who attend the training are between ages 25 and 35. They will receive money to support their plans and organizations after they complete the program. 26. What do Ms. Abdikadir and her group want to do? A. Make health care and the society better in the country. B. Develop agriculture in the northeastern part of Africa. C. Give young people more knowledge and chances. D. Help animal owners settle in one place. 27. The development in Kenya is affected mainly because people ______. A. are always on the move to find resources to feed animals B. have no opportunity for schools or health care centers C. can't find out ways to solve social problems D. are not taught on how to change the society 28. What does the underlined word "fertile" in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Rich. C. Limited. B. Large. D. Much.

29. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. The importance of the program. B. The members of the program. C. Some information about this program. D. Some information about Young African Leaders Initiative. 30. According to the passage, we can learn that ________. A.

B Beauty is only a short-time surface quality, and some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin. But people, especially women, will risk a lot for beauty. In some African countries, some women take health risks, trying to use products that lighten the skin. The World Health Organization, says that 25 percent of African women nearly use skin-lightening products every morning and evening. These products can contain some harmful chemicals which can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the skin. They can actually bum the eyes and skin. An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening creams and soaps. Shop worker Adama advises her visitors to avoid the strong products that promise fast results. She uses a cream that is made not from chemicals but from carrots. She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her. Women in Senegal lighten their skin for the same reason as women all over the world make changes to their appearance. They want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd. But some products are so strong that they must be mixed with others before they are used. One such soap is called "Day Before the Wedding". This thinking troubles Senegalese filmmaker Khardiata Pouye Sall So, she made a film This Color That Bothers Me about the subject of skin lightening. Ms Sall used the most frightening photos and she hoped that women would see the dangers. It was hard for her to understand why a woman would tell herself that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. Maybe they want to please others. She thinks the government needs to better control the marketing and sale of skin lighteners. But she adds education is the best way to persuade people against using them. 31. What do we know about the chemicals in some beauty products? A. They come from carrots. B. All of them can cause cancer. C. They can lighten women's skin very quickly. D. They may cause some serious damage to women.

32. How often do some African women use skin-lightening products? A. Once every week. C. Twice every day. B. Once every month. D. Twice a year.

33. According to Paragraph 3, Adama is inferred to _______. A. be mean to others B. have very good skin C. care about her customers D. look really beautiful 34. For what do women in Senegal lighten their skin? a. To look beautiful. b. To have a chance for work. c. To run for stars. d. To find a husband. e. To stand out in a crowd. A. abcd C. acd B. bcde D. ade _______.

35. According to Ms Sall, to stop people from using skin lighteners, A. producing skin lighteners should be banned B. they should be educated on the dangers of using them C. the most frightening photos should be shown to people

D. they should be told people with dark skin can also have a good future C Jianzhi (剪纸) is a traditional style of paper cutting in China. It has been widely practiced in China since at least the 6th century A.D. Paper cutting remains popular in today's China, especially during special events like the Chinese New Year or weddings. However, paper cutting isn't just popular in China. It is practiced in some other countries, too. Several Philippine crafts (手艺) use paper cutting. During Filipino Christmas, the parol (a traditional star-shaped lantern) is decorated with coloured paper. The coloured paper is cut into various forms such as floral designs on the faces, pom-pons and "tails" on the points of the star. There is also the art of wrapper, where coloured paper is cut with small scissors and used to wrap

(色裹) traditional sweets. Sanjhi is the Indian art of paper cutting. The paper cutting is usually placed on the floor and colors are filled in to make Rangoli. Rangoli is a folk art from India in which pattems are created on the floor in living rooms or courtyards using materials such as coloured rice, dry flour, coloured sand or flower petals. Paper cutting has been a common Jewish art form since the Middle Ages. It is connected with various customs and ceremonies. It links with holidays and family life. Paper-cuts often decorate marriage contracts, and are used for decorations on festive occasions. By about the 17th century, Jewish paper cutting had become a popular form for small artifacts. In the 20th century, the art of Jewish paper cutting was revived in Israel. Papel picado is the Mexican art of paper cutting. Tissue paper is cut into beautiful designs with scissors or small, sharp chisels; this technique is frequently used to produce decorative banners. Christmas is the time when flowers of paper cutting, fringed candy holders called crackers, and Ljuskrona which are covered with paper cutting are found in Swedish and Swedish-American homes. 36. From Paragraph l we can know that paper cutting ______. A. has a really long history in China B. was invented in the 6th century A.D. C. has recently gained popularity in China D. was introduced to China by foreign people 37. During Christmas time, people in the Philippines______. A. cut coloured paper and use it to wrap a traditional lantern B. put coloured paper that is cut into various forms on the floor C. decorate a traditional star-shaped lantern with coloured paper D. place traditional sweets wrapped with coloured paper on the points of lanterns 38.

Different types of paper cutting. C. The development of paper cutting. D. Paper cutting in different countries. D Machu Picchu is so well-known and so certain to fill travelers with high expectation. No other South American place of interest comes close when it comes to the visitor number and broad attraction. Only Sacsayhuamon in Cuzco, which is usually part of a Machu Picchu tour route, is comparable for size and the architectural style. Just with a bit of careful planning and the right approach, you will find the site as attractive as any on the planet. The charm of Machu Picchu, which means the "old mountain" in the local language , is obvious. It is a 550-year-old castle. It is high: 7,973 feet above sea level. It is large: the ruins are the size of a village, and combined with nearby forests and wild parks, which as described by UNESCO, cover more than 116 square miles. It is also mysterious: we know it is partly used for people to live in and partly used for religious activities, but we are still guessing about its academic importance to the ancient people. Machu Picchu is set in subtropical forests, providing a protected habitat for several endangered species, such as spectacled bears (眼镜熊) and cat-like pumas (美洲狮). If lucky, you will enjoy American camels wandering in the mountain and you will have a memorabie5trip that can last 14 days. You just have to work out how to catch that quiet moment and find the right time for a tourist-free photograph. Machu Picchu is busiest in July and August, the peak tourist season and also the not-quite-so-wet season. It is never totally dry in the Andean foothills and you'll probably get showers and thin fog surrounding the peaks at some stage of your visit during this period. November to April is the rainy season, with January and February the wettest months, so the actual months of November and April are ideal if you want to avoid the heaviest crowds and B. the 1600s D. the 1900s

heaviest rains. 41. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Machu Picchu is a natural landscape. B. Machu Picchu is the best-known site in America. C. People often enjoy Sacsayhuamon when they visit Machu Picchu. D. Sacsayhuamon can match Machu Picchu in the visitor number and broad attraction. 42. Which of the following is NOT the feature of Machu Picchu? A. It has a history of 550 years. B. Its height is 7, 973 feet above sea level. C. It is partly for living and partly for religion. D. Its ruins cover more than 116 square miles. 43. Machu Picchu is still mysterious for people today because ______. A. ancient people used it for living B. ancient people used it for religious activities C. people might use it for other purposes D. people there still speak their ancient language 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3? A. Machu Picchu is a tourist attraction in tropical forests. B. Camels are one of the endangered species in Machu Picchu. C. You can find cat-like pumas when you travel in Machu Picchu. D. It is not permitted to take photographs in Machu Picchu. 45. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To warn people not to get lost in subtropical forests. B. To make a comparison between Machu Picchu and Sacsayhuamon. C. To introduce the hidden beauty of Machu Picchu for possible tourists. D. To call on people to protect several endangered species in Machu Picchu. 第二节信息匹配（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。 首先，阅读下面加拿大旅游推介项目的图片及说明：

He had to close his company one day. He felt very sad and thought he let his parents down. After returning home, he went to his room. His mother was worried, but she could do nothing. His father decided to teach his son a good lesson.

He went to his son’s room and sat beside him. He took out a $100 bill and said, “son, this is a new $100 bill. Everyone wants it, right?” His son nodded. Then the father dropped it on the ground and started to step on it. It became dirty. When he picked it up, he asked, “Will people still want it?” The son nodded again. The father then said, “My son. You’re just like this $100 bill. One failure doesn’t mean you’re no longer valued. You’re still the son that we love. Cheer up. We’re always here for you.” With the father’s encouragement, the son decided to try again. Years later he succeeded. He was grateful for his great parents. Summary: David’s parents gave all their savings to him in order to support his business. But David failed. He felt very sad. His father went to his room. He took out a $100 bill and said that everyone would want it. David agreed. Then the father dropped it on the ground and stepped on it. The son agreed people would still want it. Through doing that, the father made the son realize that one failure didn’t mean he was no longer valued, and that he was still the son they loved. The son was encouraged. He tried again and finally succeeded. 2014－2015 学年高一 W 版· 广东专版第 18 期测试题参考答案及部分解析 第 18 期测试题参考答案 1-5 BBCBA 11-15 BDCAD 16-25 (One possible version) 16. quickly When 17. which 18. a 24. rode 31-35 DCCDB 41-45 CDCCC 19. neither 20. from 25. what 21. most valuable 22. 6-10 DCDBA

基础写作 (One possible version) Paper Cutting, as an ancient Chinese traditional folk art, can date back to the sixth century，and has a history of over 1,500 years. The Chinese paper-cutting works, beginning with religious ceremonies, are now mainly used in decorations. In 2006, paper cutting was listed in the first national non-material cultural heritage and three years later in October it has been selected into the world non-material cultural heritage. Among the most famous paper-cutting masters is Ku

Shulan, who is awarded Outstanding Chinese Folk Art Master by UNESCO. Undoubtedly, with its unique style, Chinese paper-cutting has become popular at home and abroad. 读写任务 (One possible version) The author hadn’t thought Mother loved her, but at college, she didn’t come to realize her mother’s love until she got the scrapbook, a gift of love. It seems to me that we have endless love from our mother, who is selfless and great. And such love is also the safest love. Whether we are happy or depressed, rich or poor, mother’s love will always stay with us, I think. One day, two children were drawn into the flood. At this moment, their mother, forgetting that she couldn’t swim at all, bravely jumped into the water. In fact, she had no time to think about herself and just tried all means to save her children. Finally her children were saved. How selfless and great it is! So we should thank our mothers with our practical work at lessons, and often have a heart-to-heart talk with them. Besides in every family reunion, we should enjoy our mother’s love. 听力练习 18 1-5 BACBB 11-15 ABABC 16-20 (One possible version) 16. holiday 18. sunny and hot 17. enjoyable 19.
